Review: The Last Mrs. Parrish

The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amber wants to change her life. She is tired of being the one who is a “nobody”. She wants to marry a wealthy man and live in a large expensive home in a nice neighborhood. So she devises a plan that she is certain will allow her get what she wants. The first half of the book is Amber's point of view and very suspenseful. Amber has her sights on wealthy, successful and handsome businessman Jackson Parrish. The only problem, he is already married with two daughters and appears to dote on his beautiful wife, Daphne.

Daphne Parrish chairs a foundation, Julie’s Smile, which helps sufferers of CF. Her younger sister, Julie, had died of the disease. Amber befriends Daphne, pretending she also had a younger sister who died of CF. Amber does it well becoming Daphne’s closest friend as well as Jackson’s personal assistant. Of course Amber and Jackson are having a torrid affair and her plan of taking Daphne’s place is well away.

The second half of the book is Daphne's point of view. here we get 12 years of her marriage and the background. Here is were we discover the perfect marriage is really not the perfect marriage. Jackson Parrish is anything but the pleasant devoted husband he appears to be. Unfortunately, this section of the book is too very tedious and very long.

Daphne soon discovers what is going on and now come up with actions of her own. I was so team daphne but she turned into an unlikable and unbelievable character.

all in all this was a good psycho thriller and had the potential to be a 5 star blown out of the water book..but it just wasn't there.....
